Methyl 2-cyano-3-(dimethylamino)acrylate

Methyl 2-cyano-3-(dimethylamino)acrylate is a chemical compound characterized by a captodative substitution pattern, where an electron-withdrawing cyano group and an electron-donating dimethylamino group are present on the same olefin. This structural feature stabilizes radicals through a synergistic effect, making the compound relevant in radical chemistry and as a synthetic intermediate.
